Dear insansapinas,

photocredit CNNIt is almost end of the year and another calamity struck the Philippines. The reporters did not bother if the pictures were graphic or not. Just like incident of the plane crash in Paranaque weeks ago, they took pictures of the victims with disregard to the grieving relatives.Corruption wastes peoples' money; incompetence wastes money and peoples' lives.

About the Blog

This is a blog about the adventures and misadventures of a Filipina in the US of A who wants to save the world from clutches of evil but is too lazy to don her costume. It also includes her reminisces of her journey of life in her birth country. Sinimulan ko ito ng 2004 at pansamantalang iniwan ng magbukas ako ng marami pang blogs katulad ng Now What, Cat?. Ngayon na pinahihinga ko ang aking pusa, dito naman ako nanggugulo.
